1…………> Applied Global Warming: Japan Floods

 

At least 51 people have died and many more are missing after heavy rains caused flooding and landslides across much of western Japan, with Motoyama, near Tokyo, getting unheard of 23 inches of rainfall, with heavy rains expected to continue through Sunday and 48,000 police, firefighters and Self-Defence Force personnel mobilized to help with the rescue effort.

Hiroshima Prefecture was hit the hardest with numerous landslides that killed at least 15 people and authorities have warned that the death toll will continue to rise.

2…………> Anne Frank In USA: Dream Of Freedom

 

On November 9, 1938, the Nazis terrorized Jews throughout the country in the violent Kristallnacht pogroms, also known as the “Night of Broken Glass”, and according to a recent research the family of Anne Frank attempted to emigrate to the US, and later to Cuba, but their efforts were tragically thwarted by America’s restrictive immigration policy and the outbreak of World War II.

“I am forced to look out for emigration and as far as I can see the USA is the only country we could go to,” Otto Frank wrote in English to a friend in the US in 1941.

His efforts to get the family out of the Netherlands to the US likely started as early as 1938 — a turbulent year in which Nazi Germany annexed Austria and part of Czechoslovakia into the Third Reich. (DW)

4…………> New World’s Champion: England?

 

England has booked their place in the World Cup semifinals for the first time since 1990 courtesy of a 2-0 win over Sweden. Harry Maguire and Dele Alli got the goals either side of half-time.

England followed up their penalty shootout win on Wednesday with a convincing 2-0 victory over Sweden in Samara Arena on Sunday.

Harry Maguire scored his first international goal to give England the early lead. Dele Alli got on the score sheet as well as England qualified for their first World Cup semifinal in 28 years.

With the wind in their sails, The Three Lions came close to extending the lead before the break as Raheem Sterling squandered two golden opportunities in one-on-one situations with Olsen. (BBC)

5…………> US/China Trade War: No Soybeans

 

The unintended consequences of the US/China tariff war are hitting hard, as China reduced commitments to buy 366,000 metric tons of U.S. soybeans in the season that ends Aug. 31 and further cut plans to buy 66,000 tons in the following year.

Soybeans are on the hit list of American goods now being targeted by Chinese tariffs that went into effect Friday after the U.S. implemented a raft of duties earlier in the day and President Donald Trump threatened more action. The oilseed is the top agricultural commodity that the U.S. ships to China by far and is among the largest products for overall exports.

1………..>Waters World: A Blabbermouth

Ricky Taylor, a ten-year Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan has offered to take Rep. Maxine “Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar? … He doesn’t deserve my attention,” Waters’ (D-Calif.) seat at President Trump’s first State of the Union address later today.

Waters is one of several ultra-left Democrat lawmakers who are skipping the event, the reason being is that Trump is “the most despicable human being that could possibly ever walk the earth.”

“You can call us what you want, but we’re still going to support our president, there’s so many Trump supporters out there that are minorities,” Taylor said. 

 “She doesn’t speak for everybody, she surely doesn’t speak for me,  she does this for a publicity stunt. She does it to kind of pander to her audience.”
 

“And I just thought it was extremely disrespectful for her to say that about the president,” said “Deplorable Vet” Taylor, after the Hillary’s “I have no recollection of my email server” Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark, a remark that cost her the presidency.

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) announced a formal invitation to Taylor to join him at the big speech.

 A former Hadley, Massachusetts, police officer named Christopher M. Roeder, 48, of Feeding Hills was arrested and charged in federal court in Springfield in connection with using unreasonable force during an arrest, deprivation of rights under color of law and one count of falsification of a document. 


Each one of the three counts can result in a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.

3…………> Ryan’s Perestroika: Clean Up FBI

“Let it all out, get it all out there. Cleanse the organization. I think we should disclose all this stuff. It’s the best disinfectant. Accountability, transparency — for the sake of the reputation of our institutions,[because] covering up mischief would be worse.” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said, calling to “cleanse” the FBI as he backed the release of a controversial FISA memo that reportedly details alleged surveillance abuses by the Obama’s “Deep State” operatives and saboteurs within DOJ.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee and long time co-conspirator in the illegal’s scheme, called it naturally a “very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.” The motion passed on a party-line basis”, he said, eyes full with tears.

4…………> The Last Of Sobibor: Finally Free

Soviet Red Army soldier of Jewish descent named Arkady Waispapir who was taken prisoner by the Germans in 1943 and then sent to the Sobibor death camp, where he organized a resistance group that executed a  brazen uprising in October 1943 in which nearly a dozen guards were killed and 500 prisoners managed to escape, died in Kiev aged 96.
